Game Of Thrones: The Mad King
Duncan Macmillan (Author Adapatation)
Enter the world before.
A long winter thaws in Harrenhal, and spring is promised. At a lavish banquet on the eve of a jousting tournament, lovers meet and revellers speculate about who will contend. But in the shadows, amid growing unease at the bloodthirsty actions of the realm’s merciless Mad King, dissenters from his inner circle anxiously advance a treasonous plot. Far away, the drums of battle sound.
Family bonds, ancient prophecies, and the sacred line of succession will be tested in a dangerous campaign for power. Who will survive? Who will rise?
'Wars aren’t won by those with most cause, but whose story’s best told.'

Martin's Game of Thrones: The Mad King is a sweeping new stage epic, written by Duncan Macmillan and directed by Dominic Cooke, coming to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre from Thursday 23 July to Saturday 5 September 2026.
